This text prepares postgraduates for the oral exam for Membership of Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS). It also covers the Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (MFGDP) exam which draws on the same knowledge.

Clinical Problems in Dentistry 50 OSCEs and SCRs. This book gives both an understanding and an approach to pass both MFDS and MJDF exams. Detailed cases from real patients will enable the postgraduate dentist to gain an appreciation of the standards required and the professional behaviours expected from a successful candidate. Building the basic OSCE into the SCR, this is the only book aimed at both the MFDS and MJDF exams. Starting with Exam Expectations, the following fi ve chapters of subject-based questions cover: Medical Emergencies, Medical Matters, Ethical Examples, Clinical Cases and ends with Procedural Problems. Written in line with the 2013 GDC Standards, this text should prove to be useful, not only for those preparing for the MFDS and MJDF exams, but for all members of the dental team who wish to use Clinical Problems in Dentistry for their CPD requirements. Clinical Problems in Dentistry has been content evaluated, edited and reviewed. It should prove to be a valuable addition for the modern dental professionals reading. Key Features: 1. Mandatory Core CPD areas covered. 2. Focus on communication and non-technical skills for the exam and the clinic. 3. Additional information from the OSCE to the SCR level for each question. 4. Citations and references provided for further reading. 5. Easy to read, detailed studies of patients, describing them as people and not just clinical cases.

The syllabus for the Final FRCA is wide, and it is tested in different ways: by multiple choice questions, by orals in anaesthesia and clinical science, and by written short answer questions. The aim of this book is to give you some insight into the short answer section and some guidance as to how best you might succeed. The introduction explains the paper and offers advice about technique, and the 180 questions that follow comprise topics that are typical of those that might appear. Each title is followed by a short preamble which is intended to establish the relevance of the subject that is being asked, and by a specimen introduction to the answer. It is not intended that you necessarily should reproduce these introductions in your own papers, but they are included as examples of ways in which answers could begin. There follows the body of the text which is presented mainly in the form of bulleted lists accompanied by supporting information and explanation, a format whose purpose is to make the significant details clear and accessible. At the end of each topic a section entitled ‘Marking points’ attempts to reinforce the objective of the question and to clarify any particular aspects that may be important for a pass. Although the questions are structured as if for a written answer, it is worth emphasising that many of the subjects could appear in a slightly different form in one or other part of the oral examination. It is for this reason that many of the topics include substantially more detail than would be needed to pass a written question, but enough to allow you to give a reasonable account of yourself in the vivas. This is not a textbook of anaesthesia but an exam-orientated guide. Yet it would be disappointing were the practice of clinical anaesthesia to bear no relation whatever to the examination syllabus. So although the questions in this book are constructed primarily for the convenience of examination candidates, I would hope also that they comprise a succinct summary of information, albeit unreferenced, that would be of interest to other practising clinicians. I had always wondered why the authors of medical textbooks, however modest, paid tribute to the forbearance of their families. Now we know! Simon Bricker - 2012
